This compact all-metal rosary is rugged, functional, and portable.  It has a meaningful history, as it is a replica of the service combat rosaries issued by the government to soldiers, sailors, and flying aces during WWI.

These rosaries are quite strong, do not tangle, are small and portable, and very easy to carry in your pocket. This design has slightly larger Our Father beads to aid your meditative prayer. You can feel where you are on the rosary without looking at it. This chain is non-rust, non-corrosive, and non-magnetic. 

At 21" long, they are wearable but still bunch up small enough to carry in your pocket, but we do include a small round container for presentation and storage.

You can read more about the original antique WWI service rosary HERE.

Thank you for shopping and God Bless.

Gun Metal Battle Beads

I ordered the gun metal Battle Beads and they’re exactly what I wanted. A single decade rosary is great for keeping with me all day long. It was delivered really fast and there were no problems with the ordering process

Such beautiful products

I really love my rosary and carrying bag. You can tell theyre high quality and they look so beautiful. The holy water carrying flask is a must have as well. I love the extra goodies thrown in there, especially the rosary ring. It's been a great EDC. God Bless!

Beautiful rosary !

I love the gunmetal finish. The spacing of the beads is perfect for a man’s hand and fingers. Quality craftsmanship. Carrying case is nice and designed to hold the box that rosary comes in, but I would prefer a more streamlined carrying case that more easily would slip into my pocket. Just a thought.
Love this as my go to rosary!

Detail on guardian angel + St. Mike medal isn't as fine as it could be. Even Satan looks a bit blobby.

Fantastic rosary

This is an amazing rosary. Well built, masculine, and a real spiritual weapon. The best part, if by any chance breaks, no problem, there are repair kits that Rugged Rosaries provide and are super easy to repair.
